Updates on Murdaugh Appeal and Tepe Murders

Impact updates you on two cases in this episode. First an update on Alex Murdaugh's appeal. Oral arguments are scheduled for February 11th, when the South Carolina Supreme Court will hear Murdaugh's appeal against his murder charges. Impact discusses the parameters for the Court set up for arguments. Next an update on the Tepe murders. Dec 30, Spencer and Monique Tepe were found dead in their home. Their two young children were home but unharmed. There was no sign of a robbery or a break in. The Columbus Police Department was tight lipped and the speculation became intense. January 10, an arrest was made of Monique's ex-husband, Michael David McKee. McKee is a vascular surgeon near Chicago. Bo Barton joined Impact to discuss how these types of investigations work. Barton worked for years with the South Carolina Law Enforcement division in various roles including as a homicide detective. Barton became a certified profiler and at the time he was one of only 108 certified profilers on the planet.
